Must Listen Radio: Caller Duane Snaps Live on GR-55
shrader replied to Kruppstahl's topic in The Aud Club
Regardless of what his intentions were, you don't think that there are plenty of people sitting at home, seeing these reactions, and trying to plan one of their own? In a day and age where people post videos of them eating tide pods, a fake radio rant would be so much easier. -
@LGR4GM, with all the frozen references you've made on here, I really hope you have some younger siblings or something.

Must Listen Radio: Caller Duane Snaps Live on GR-55

Yeah, just what we need: more people making whiny rants on sports radio so they can get their 15 minutes of fame. A true hero. -
OT: Information on Coronavirus from the Far East
shrader replied to Scottysabres's topic in The Aud Club
What the media is reporting ultimately doesn't mean all that much. The CDC and WHO are going to have a much better sense and those are the types of organizations people should be paying attention to. If you want the numbers and details, go straight to them. Whether it's due to ignorance or an agenda, using the media or politicians as a middle man for this information has a good chance of clouding the details. -
So which line is he skating on?

"Losing their most loyal fans". How exactly does that work if there are still fans around? Are the less loyal folks still sticking around? If that's the case, aren't those ones the most most loyal fans? -
Special one day out of the week threads lose their luster if we make an identical thread for a different day of the week. But hey, we have to be sure that people hit their daily quota for starting threads.

Movies / TV Shows - I Have Watched / Plan To Watch
shrader replied to Sabres Fan in NS's topic in The Aud Club
I've been binging Game of Thrones over the last couple weeks. That show had to have been maddening for those who watched it on a weekly basis. There's so many moments where a character will have a major moment and then not appear again for several episodes, or in some cases, several seasons. It's one thing when you watch several back to back, but on a weekly basis I'd imagine people forgot some of the storylines. Then with some of the child actors, they're significantly older the next time you see them. -
Hertl? I'd imagine that would have to be a huge "buy low" scenario coming off of the torn ACL/MCL combo. How long is he out for?
-
How many players in this league can drive a line on their own? I'd imagine it's a very short list. We're fortunate to even have one guy who can.

And the goaltending part really wasn't all that crazy of an expectation from this group. Hutton was never going to be anything special, but his drop-off this year has been crazy. I don't think even the most pessimistic would have called this one. And this all happens at the same time that they add on a goalie coach that people were hyping as a savior (a bit hyperbolic, I admit).

Have you driven a car lately? Half of them are staring at their phones too. That's not a Buffalo thing. -
So 5 years at a rate that fall below threshold for what can be stashed in the minors. I'm sure Johan will be interested in that.?

OT: Information on Coronavirus from the Far East
shrader replied to Scottysabres's topic in The Aud Club
If it were to spread, at that point there's far more awareness of the virus. Also, a very important factor that brawndo pointed out, with that spread it is probably moving on to a population with a much lower mortality risk. Imagine if Jack Eichel suddenly started taking a lot of shots from center ice. His shooting percentage drops significantly. -
Because of the way you described Olofsson, I'm assuming you're talking about the possibilities for a trade right now. If that's not the case, feel free to ignore the rest of this. I can't see any deal during the season that would involve Reinhart. This trade for a good 2C would have to wait for the offseason.

Forget it. He's rolling.
-
I kind of like the thought that trash talking someone while two other players are in between you some how equates to steam rolling a goalie in open ice. That type of logic is undeniable.
-
Sure, there's no evidence, but everything people always said about him pointed towards him being the guy who would move on to a bigger market. If that's who he is, that's fine. He had the ability to do so after that season. And being upset about not receiving an offer doesn't mean he wanted to stay. It could very easily just be talk and it could also be a pride thing.

So Kadri mouths off while Montour is held by another Av... that's our line now for what is worthy of praise?
-
He had a good contract year and then was separated from everything that made the contract year successful. So yeah, maybe he did just thrive because of that $$$ motivation, but we can't really be sure. He had nearly identical numbers in 2016-17 and that was not a contract year.
-
I can name two other forwards who have stepped up this year and it perfectly illustrates the problem: Zemgus Girgensons and Johan Larsson. It's nice that they have, but those aren't the guys you need it from.
-
It's the classic "hockey trade" they always talk about. That's the only deal that should be discussed when it comes to Reinhart. He's the best available piece when it comes to the mentality of "you have to give something to get something". If I'm the GM, I'm certainly listening, but it needs to be someone who helps immediately. Sorry, I'm not the type to provide names and specific hypothetical deals, but I do believe the right return is out there somewhere. That's not a suggestion that he should be traded, but they should listen.
